CRUA Culla Solo Inner Insulated Tent Instruction Manual

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TENT SET UP IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE SUN’S ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT DEGRADES ALMOST EVERY FABRIC AND MATERIAL. IF LEFT IN SUNLIGHT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME, FABRIC WILL FADE AND WEAKEN. DO NOT STORE TENT ON CONCRETE FLOOR. DO NOT SPRAY THE TENT WITH INSECTICIDE. EXERCISE CARE WHEN USING ELECTRIC DEVICES IN AND NEAR TENTS.

Although our tents are constructed to rigid specifications, periods of wind or rain soaking the ground may loosen the stakes and cause the uprights to sink into the ground. This will weaken the rigidity of the overall structure. Water pockets may also form in the roof if the unit is not assembled taut, possibly causing broken frames and torn fabric. Regularly check that your tent is anchored tautly and securely.

Ensure that the tent is fully dry when packing away. If this is not possible when leaving the campsite, take the tent out of its bag as soon as possible and allow it to dry. Never store a tent when wet, as this can seriously degrade the product.

FIRE, VENTILATION & GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage or injury.

Do not use gas or other combustion appliances anywhere in, or near your tent.
Do not place hot appliances near the walls, roof or curtains.
Always observe the safety instructions for these appliances.
Never allow children to play near hot appliances.
Make sure all ventilation openings on inner and outer tents as well as any Reflective Flysheets are open all the time to avoid possible suffocation

FLAMMABILITY

Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric. Any tent, even ones treated with flame-resistant chemicals, are not fireproof. The fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with any flame source and could result in serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others. THIS TENT IS NOT FIREPROOF, for these reasons:

DO NOT spray the tent with insecticide.
DO NOT use other than Crua Outdoors ® recommended water repellent compounds on your tent.
DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment or any other fuel-burning devices, in or near the tent.
DO NOT build fires in or near a tent.
DO NOT leave campfires unattended.

CARBON MONOXIDE GAS WILL KILL YOU

Stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, and any other fuel burning devices that burn propane, natural gas, charcoal, kerosene, coal, or other fuel, produce a toxic gas called Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is an invisible, odorless and colorless gas. A dangerous level can accumulate in a tent that cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste. When breathed in, even in small quantities, Carbon Monoxide is absorbed into the bloodstream, replacing, and reducing the oxygen in the bloodstream and causing Carbon Monoxide poisoning and suffocation which will cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others. For these reasons:

DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment or any other fuel-burning devices, in or near the tent.
DO NOT build fires in or near a tent.
DO exercise care when using electricity and lighting in and near your tent.

SEVERE WEATHER

In some climatic conditions (for example, severe storms, high winds, heavy snow) stakes and guy lines may not be sufficient to anchor a tent securely, which could result in the tent being picked up or blown away, which could cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others.
Under such conditions:

DO use supplemental means to anchor the tent.
DO seek appropriate shelter, for example, in a house, cabin building or a secure structure other than a tent.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD

Any tent must be properly ventilated in all weather conditions to allow sufficient airflow into and out of the tent. If airflow into and out of the tent is obstructed (for example, heavy snow or bedding/pillows covering vents) you and other persons will suffer from a lack of oxygen and suffocate resulting in serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others. For these reasons:

DO clear snow or other materials away from any external vents frequently.
DO ensure that bedding, pillows, backpacks, etc. are kept away from any internal vents.
DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment or any other fuel-burning devices, in or near the tent. (SEE CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING).

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN

DO NOT leave children unattended inside or around a tent.
DO NOT allow children to set-up or take down a tent.
DO NOT allow children to enter or exit a tent except through the door.
DO NOT allow children to remain in a closed-up tent on hot days.
DO NOT allow children to play with any plastic bags or other packaging material as there is a risk of suffocation. Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury or permanent disability to your children.

KEEP ALL EXITS CLEAR

VENTILATION

Any tent must be properly ventilated in all weather conditions to allow sufficient airflow into and out of the tent. Please familiarize yourself with all vents and openings in your tent to ensure you can maintain adequate ventilation. There are three main reasons we promote ventilation within a tent, as in the same way we would in any dwelling like a house or apartment. These are Airflow, Air quality, and Condensation Reduction.

AIRFLOW: Without airflow or fresh air into the tent, your environment will become stale and stuffy. It is important to promote good quality airflow throughout the tent.
AIR QUALITY: A buildup of any harmful gasses (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and others) is possible in an enclosed space. For this reason, you must always have adequate ventilation in your tent to ensure a good flow of air from outside.
CONDENSATION REDUCTION: Leaving the vents open, supplemented by partially opening windows and doors at night to provide cross ventilation is a good way to reduce condensation.

Given the importance of proper ventilation, for airflow, air quality and condensation reduction, we use high and low venting in most of our tents. This allows cooler air in through the low vents and warmer, moist air up and out through the high vents. Opening both the high and low vents is important as this allows for this cross ventilation. If your tent has vents in the porch / vestibule, then it is important to also keep those vents open. Failure to vent your tent properly, may result in serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Make sure you know the fire precaution arrangements on the site.
Consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, flash floods, avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards.
Make sure you anchor your tent at all times.
Please be mindful of guylines, bathtub floors, straps, and other parts of tents as they can be a potential trip hazard.

IMPORTANT We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our information. We do, however, have a policy of continuous improvement and we therefore reserve the right to change or amend designs and specifications without prior notice.

SET-UP

IMPORTANT: WE ADVISE YOU TO ASSEMBLE THE TENT ONCE BEFORE GOING CAMPING TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSEMBLY OF THE TENT.

Take out and organize all the contents from the carry bags. Set-up of your tent may take longer in windy conditions due to the extra caution needed.

NOTE: The Crua Culla Solo is an inner tent. It is not waterproof, so it should always be placed inside another tent or properly covered from the elements when using.

A.Erecting the Tent

A1. Unroll the tent onto the ground.
A2. Each air beam (2) of the Solo has an inflation/deflation valve. Unscrew the top cap of the inflation valve and attach the pump nozzle
A3. Inflate each pole until it is quite firm (7 PSI if your pump has a gauge).
A4. Once the air poles have sprung outwards, assuming their correct shape, detach the pump from the tent and tighten the outer valve cap on each inflation point, it is important that these are tight to prevent seepage of air.
A5. Place the Solo inside the Hybrid or another outer tent.
A6. Assemble the spreader pole and place one end of the pole into the pole pocket on the top of the Solo. Place the other end into the corresponding pocket.
A7. Use the fabric ties on the top of the Solo to keep the roof taught.

NOTE: When using the Solo in another tent, ensure that there is adequate space between the Solo and the outer tent for airflow and to minimize condensation.

B.Ventilation

B1. The Solo comes with 2 vents that are always open. It is important that these vents are not blocked when the tent is in use.
B2. The Solo also has 2 large doors on either side and a smaller door at the head end. These doors can also be used for supplemental airflow when needed.

NOTE: When using the Solo in another tent, all vents in the outer tent should all open at all times to ensure proper airflow.

TAKE DOWN

A. Take Down

A1. Partially close all doors and openings.
A2. Untie and remove the spreader pole from the pockets on the top of the Solo.
A3. Disassemble the spreader pole and store it in the pole bag.
A4. Open all valves on each pole. The tent poles will deflate. Wait until most of the air has been expelled.
A5. Fold the tent in half once and roll from the foot end to the head end. Use the compression straps to keep the tent in a tightly rolled shape and allow it to easily fit in the bag.

Leave valves open while not in use.
